Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Goshen, NJ.

Substance abuse rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
